we've also seen a need to add an arbitrary path to PYTHONPATH in these 
script for situations like using ian bickings workingenv.  workingenv 
constrains the execution and installation environment to an arbitrary 
directory(no more installing eggs into the site-packages).

make it similar to disutils?
